Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; U3 snoRNA binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; negative regulation of cellular senescence; and negative regulation of response to gamma radiation. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of several cellular components, including nucleus; protein-DNA complex; and small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Used to study severe combined immunodeficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 26. Orthologous to human PRKDC (protein kinase, DNA-activated, catalytic subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
